Tarporley to: Ross-on-Wye
Did this road a couple of years ago when taking part in National Rally. It is a road with what I call 'rythmm' with lots of super-fast sweeping bends, without lots of silly little 'micky-mouse' corners. Route runs parallel with English/Welsh border and avoids ALL sizeable towns and most villages but does have a fair amount of interest from the boys in blue, so beware.
Northampton to: Bedford
Fast well surfaced road, with fast sweeping bends and not too much traffic - worth trying
THAME to: A41 (BICESTER ROAD)
Absolutely blinding route, though a litte short at around 7-8 miles, but can be done extremely quickly. There are 3-4 tight s-bends and loads of top sweeping left and right bends and undulations. The quality of the road surface is good and consistent apart from entering and leaving the 2 small villages on the way. This route is best ridden from A41 Bicester road site to Long Crendon and Thame, especially when youve just watched a super-bikes race. PLOD: Not a sniff S-CAMS: Not a sniff DANGERS: Railway track crossing after a high speed bend (about 2/3 left hander) coming from A41 side, but no need to slow down for the actual crossing it's self (smooth baby). BIKE USE: Loads on a good day (lot's of fun)
Petworth (Sussex) to: Chichester
Ride south out of Petworth, marvelling at the way the high walls reflect exhaust noise, through Coultershaw (tight bridge, poor vis, steam pumping station open weekends) and Duncton. Huge sweeper (almost 180deg) at the foot of the Downs, then sweeping climb up and over the tops, beautifull tight/fast right hander before Upwaltham. The road climbs, dives and sweep through one of the nicest valleys on the South Downs, there is superb road surface and the low traffic density and good visibility make a nice change for the South of England. All the roads on the Downs are great, and a loop through Goodwood and Singleton (A286) can be done, which takes you back to Midhurst and the A272.
